Abp. Dolan, Un-Gloved, Smacks Maguire

When he wants to, His Grace can slap the snot out of the bad guy.

As the bishop of the archdiocese where you reside, I am obliged to reply to your circular form-letter, sent to the bishops of the country on June 19, 2006.The opinions expressed in the two pamphlets enclosed in that correspondence are totally at odds with clear Church teaching. Sacred Scripture, the Magisterium, and Natural Law are consistent in opposition to abortion and so-called same-sex marriage.You speak of your duty to dissent. Well, at least call it such. To claim that support for abortion and same-sex “marriage” is consonant with Catholic moral teaching is preposterous and disingenuous.I, too, have a duty: to teach what the Church clearly believes. Your opinion on these two matters is contrary to the faith and morals of the Church.It's almost an insult to your intelligence to say so, but the recipient of this missive was none other than the Cancer of Marquette, Dan Maguire.

Fortunately, every Catholic who reads knows that he's a flake. When I was studying theology at MU back in the 70s, he was already known as tenured bad news. Just if he'd do something outrageous --- maybe grope an undergraduate in Boston Store's window or suchlike --- so his tenure could get pulled; but he's too savvy for that.
